Marduk was founded in Norrköping, Sweden in 1990 by Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson. His ultimate goal was to create the most blasphemous and Satanic band ever conceptualized.
In 1991, Marduk released a three song demo entitled "Fuck Me Jesus", which due to its dark and irreverent lyrics was highly received by a cult following.
During 1992, Marduk released their first full-length album "Dark Endless" under the label No Fashion and continued to tour Sweden, augmenting their steadily growing fan base. Marduk switched over to the French label Osmose in 1993 after a dispute with No Fashion. Marduk began to tour throughout the rest of Europe in 1994 and in 1995 had their first gig across the Atlantic in Mexico City. They continued to amass fans and release albums over the next few years, even spearheading the European "Black Metal Assault Tour" in 1998.
In 2000, Marduk founded their own record label, Blooddawn Productions.
In 2004 Marduk released their ninth studio album "Plague Angel" which was a great hit all over Europe and later on in the U.S.A. To celebrate Marduks 15 years anniversary a live album called "Warschau" was released with 17 live tracks from a show in Poland, 2005.
In 2006 a very substantial double DVD, which was called "Blood Puke Salvation", containing 2 concerts professionally filmed in Tilburg (Holland) and Antwerpen (Belgium). Videoclips, photo-gallery, interviews, behind the scenes material and rare handycam footage from the Deathmarch tours of 2004 and 2005.
In 2007, they released their tenth studio album entitled "Rom 5:12".
In 2009, Marduk released another full-length album "Wormwood" recorded at Endarker Studios in Norrköping with engineer/producer Magnus "Devo" Andersson.
In May 2012 their 12th studio album, "Serpent Sermon", was released.
Marduk continues to tour Europe, release albums, and is regularly featured in many prominent Metal music festivals.

Marduk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sailed the darkened waters of my soul on the ship of flaming hate
Towards the land of the damned..
The cold winds of the darkness blow strongly
The cemetery glows in the dark
A thousand times, thousand voices are screaming in pain from beyond
A number of faceless shapes march forth from the darkness within
Life is slowly passing away, poisoned by guilt and sin
Only waiting to die the greatest of life's events
And I begin my journey..
As hands of greater characters unveil the world
Plunging through space and time, my prison has now been slain
The reaper purifies my soul..
Perdition and death - I was in ages so dark and far away..
And I will always be
trapped in this infernal eternal cycle of hate, guilt, and pain.
The lyrics to Marduk's song Infernal Eternal paint a vivid picture of a tortured soul on the brink of destruction. The opening lines describe the singer looking into a mirror and seeing a fading creation, which could be a metaphor for their deteriorating mental state. They then set sail on a ship of flaming hate, journeying towards the land of the damned.
The imagery in this song is dark and eerie, with references to cold winds, glowing cemeteries, and faceless shapes emerging from the darkness. The singer describes feeling poisoned by guilt and sin, and lying in blackness waiting to die. However, they are also aware of the greater forces at work in the universe, with hands of greater characters unveiling the world and the reaper purifying their soul. The final lines suggest a sense of resignation to this eternal cycle of darkness, as the singer declares that they will always be trapped in it.
Overall, the lyrics to Infernal Eternal are a powerful reflection on the inner turmoil and existential dread that many people experience at some point in their lives. They paint a vivid picture of a world consumed by darkness, with the singer struggling to find any hope or meaning in their existence.
Line by Line Meaning
As I looked into the mirror, and saw the creation which was fading
I reflected on my existence and saw it dwindling away.
I sailed the darkened waters of my soul on the ship of flaming hate
I explored the depths of my innermost emotions, driven by fiery anger.
Towards the land of the damned..
I was headed towards a place of eternal suffering and punishment.
The cold winds of the darkness blow strongly
A chilling breeze from the void sweeps over me.
The cemetery glows in the dark
The graveyard seems to come alive in the shadows.
A thousand times, thousand voices are screaming in pain from beyond
The anguished cries of countless souls echo through the abyss.
A number of faceless shapes march forth from the darkness within
Indistinct forms emerge from the murky void.
Life is slowly passing away, poisoned by guilt and sin
My existence fades, poisoned by remorse and wrongdoing.
Embraced in Black I lie
I lay in the comforting embrace of oblivion.
Only waiting to die the greatest of life's events
I eagerly anticipate the ultimate culmination of existence - death.
And I begin my journey..
I commence my voyage into the unknown.
As hands of greater characters unveil the world
The forces of greater beings reveal the universe to me.
Plunging through space and time, my prison has now been slain
I traverse through the dimensions, liberated from my confinement.
The reaper purifies my soul..
Death brings salvation and purifies my spirit.
Perdition and death - I was in ages so dark and far away..
I was lost in a realm of damnation and oblivion for eons.
And I will always be
And I shall forever exist in this state of eternal unrest.
